David Paugh and Miss Maggie
Powers took walk on last Sunday
morning, of about half mile, ana
were then met by Rev. W. E. George,
who had reached the same spot by
another route, The two were then
united in the holy bonds of matri-
mony, under the broad canopy of
heaven, while the "beautiful snow"
envelOped them in the purest veil
conceivable. The happy couple re-
turned in time to he present in their
accustomed places in Sunday School.

Miss Bessie Hoye is expected home
from Alexandra this week. She has
been away since December.
The debate last Saturday evening
at the Deer Park Club room was very
largely attended. More ladies were
present than on any previous meet
ing. The question was: Resolved,
that cremation is preferable to the
present mode of burial. The judges
decided in favor of the affirmative.
There were some very interesting and
able arguments on both sides. The
question for next Saturdays debate
is: Resolved, that strikes are bene-
fetal to the working men. Leaders,
Messrs. Hof' and Hoye.
Mrs. P. w. Connel is at present
suffering from a severe attack of neu-
ralgla.
The teachers of both Sunday Schools
here meet every Thursday evening
at the residence of some one of the
members, to spend a social evening
discussing and exchanging ideas on
the next Sundays lesson. 1t is az
excellent idea, and the spirit of unity
and christian fellowship it inculcates
Is its best feature. -

An Immigrant at uastle Garden.

1t may he of interest 10 readers to
learn something of the process of
landing and discharging an immi.
grant at Castle Garden. After the
steamship has been inspected the
storage passengers are placed, with
their baggage, on a barge and taken
direct to the garden. Here the bag
gage is transferred TO the baggage
room and the passengers are sent to
the rotunda, where they are register
ed. Then they are given instructions
in their respective home tongues re-
garding the departure of trains and
such other matters as directly effect
them. A short time is now afforded
those who wish to leave at once for
out OF town to purchase their tickets.
This having been done. the remain
ing portion of the arrivals are sepe-
rated from the rest and the licensed
boarding house keepers are allowed
into the rOtunua to solicit business.
Those who engage board are then
given chance to leave. Those who
are expecting friends wait until call
for them is received, and others, who
have no friends nor any settled plans
for the Immediate future, are allowed
to remain in the building over night.
These people sleep on the floor of the
rotunda upon their own bedding.
Those who are sick or destitute are
removed to the temporary hospital
to await transportation to Wards
island, whence they are discharged to
remain in the city or sent back to
Europe upon the return of the steam
ship which brought them here, de-
pending entirely upon their ability
to care for themselves and avoid be-
coming public charges.
Those immigrants who are able to
care for themselves, but want some
sort of employment and have no
IiICiIuo w oCSuIC II lOl lHctu, pIb-
vided for by the labor bureau. In
speaking of the operations of this de-
partment Mr.. Connolly said that
female immigrants are and always
have been at great premium. He
has a large number of applicants for
servants in excess of the supply.
! About 100 ladies visit the bureau
daily looking for servants, besides a
great number of applicants which
come by mail from every part of the
Union, With the men employment
it is not always so easily obtained, es.
pecially at this season of the year,
when outdoor work is not generally
engaged in. Still most of the immi.
grants are provided with places with.
out much difficulty, Last year the
bureau provided employment fol-
over 10000 persons. - NeD Yorh

Reorganization Of the Band.

The Oakland Cornet Band has been
recognized, DR.. j. Lee McComas
leader. New instruments will be
purchased at once and the members
will go into active training. The
purchase of instrument and uniforms
will necessitate very heavy outlay
more than the members of the band
should be called upon to furnish
themselves, therefore we think it the
duty of our citizens to contribute lib
orally for this purpose. A good band,
such as is promised in this organiza-
ton, is credit to any town, and our
citizens generally should aid in its
equipment and maintenance.
